I'm not a Bush fan. But I don't think it's fair to dump the responsibilities for all the troubles on him, the dot com boom-bust, 9/11, Katrina, economic challenges from the rise of China and India,

Bush can't control any of these and neither can Gore or anyone else who might be the President. Given all these challenges, Bush has at least done an OK job in preventing more terrorist attacks, and keeping the economy afloat. As for Iraq, it may not turn out to be exactly as what the Bush administration expected, but it's probably a war that the Americans had to fight to control the world's dwindling energy resources in order to secure the economic future for itself and the West world. As more and more countries become richer, the demand for oil and energy resources is skyrocketing, and any nation who can control these resources get all other nations by the throat. Bush obviously can't openly tell people the real motive of the war, but most Americans understand him. That's why despite all the negative attacks, he is still elected twice by the American people.

  • 枫下茶话 / 政治经济 / 为了事业和工作，是表明态度的时候了。美国大选我支持奥巴马。原因吗?一是：女人执政就怕她的情绪化。二是对世界而言美国现在需要新人，尤其是准“主流外人士”，克林顿家和政治太紧了。三还在想... -baokao(宠辱不惊可使得); 2008-2-13 (#4259259@0)

      • Most people believes that The Democratic Party will likely to win - this is especially true when the economy is in trouble. McCain is more liberal, but his age... hehe -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-2-13 (#4260520@0)
        • How old was Reagon when he became the president? -hieveryone(外婆的澎湖湾); 2008-2-14 (#4260990@0)
          • Reagan was 69 when elected and he was President until 77. McCain is 71. The key for a successful Presidency is to use the right people and trust them, be patriotic and confident, I missed the Reagan time. "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" -omega4(omega); 2008-2-14 (#4261471@0)
    • No matter who gets the nomination, it is a progress, it will win, it will be better than Bush administration. Compare the two, I support Clinton. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-2-13 {70} (#4260496@0)
      Better still, I hope those two can work together. But it is long shot.
    • I like Obama's energy and endless inspiration: "We are the ones we have been waiting for...". And I like Clinton's tough, specific, to the point style.. -mikesmith(老猫); 2008-2-13 {156} (#4260507@0)
      Better still, I like Bill. Obama's compain is all about how wonderful the Obama's compain is. but I am surprised to see how a man can be so inspirational.
    • 美国的颓势难以挽回，8年前美国人抛弃了戈尔，选择了bush, 4年之后他们再次做出了错误的选择；现在把不适熬走了，美国人会用奥巴马阻止他们的救星希拉里，然后共和党当政，大财团的眼前利益得到照顾，美国的长远利益遭受损害。美利坚帝国走向没落，世界期待新的盟主。。。 -turner(turner); 2008-2-13 (#4260725@0)
      • 一般新的盟主是要经过一场世界大战才诞生的，第三次世界大战后期，有核武器的国家开始乱扔原子弹，世界倒退到史前 -jacky2001(beyond); 2008-2-14 (#4260878@0)
    • 1,女人可能会情绪化，但是希拉里绝对不会。我看“激情“的奥巴马倒是很情绪 2，美国需要新人？我比奥巴马还新，我来当怎么样？分明是拿着没经验的不是当理说嘛！ -turner(turner); 2008-2-13 (#4260756@0)
      • 别急。女人的执着和情绪是固有的，只有在关键时刻表现出来。不过也许你是对的，撒且尔夫人也干得不错，何况希拉里还有老公帮着。奥巴马的“新”是说他是近期内体制外的，毕竟他也是97年就当参议员了，他和美国既有利益阶层关系较浅。 -baokao(宠辱不惊可使得); 2008-2-14 {56} (#4261345@0)
        看来在国人中支持率不高，但历史上看，中国人支持的总落选。
    • 你把希拉里当一般的女人了.建议去看二人的辩论,谁更有水平能力经验,一目了然. -helpisappreciated(谢谢); 2008-2-13 (#4260772@0)

        • Obama 与 Clinton 对经济有何不同影响？ -hieveryone(外婆的澎湖湾); 2008-2-14 (#4263010@0)
          • Probably not too much, they both promise to help the poor and lower middle class by providing public health care, increase min. wages, and restrict outsoucing of jobs, etc. -omega4(omega); 2008-2-15 {103} (#4266293@0)
            Obama is younger and more fresh-looking than Clinton, so many people believe he would make bolder moves

    • 不管是谁当了总统，总统的智囊团绝对都是精英，美国的外交政策，不会有显著的改变。民主党的卡特总统，伊朗营救人质失败，当政时经济政策失败，当时的民主党给民众留下了很坏的印象。 -bigfirebird(林教头，驰骋剑指千军); 2008-2-14 (#4263127@0)
